Description
Karthika Bahuleyan Arun and co-editors open a 2026 collection on bacterial products as tools against drug resistance. Resistance killed over a million people in 2019 by direct count, and forecasts warn of far more deaths by 2050 if trends hold. New antibiotics are scarce, yet bacterial products gave most past drug classes and remain rich ground.
Thirteen studies in the set span desert germs, genome guided hunts, and products that alter germ behavior rather than kill outright. One desert germ made a sulfur drug active against resistant Staphylococcus aureus and farm fungi. Work reframes products as modulators of resistance and therapy response.
